Abstract:
Environmental degradation is an alarming issue or problem in the world of today. The negative effects of a polluted environment are becoming very severe due to the degradation of environmental conditions & loss of biodiversity. The presence or absence of any specific plant species in an area points out a specific level of environmental pollution which means the quality of life is dependent on environment. As clean and green environment creates good conditions for the existence, growth & development of all living organisms. Many organisms are being affected directly or indirectly due to different types of environmental pollution resulting from different sources. It is due to rapidly increase in the human population, rapid industrialization, urbanization, vehicular emission and deforestation. Environmental contamination, especially by the industrial revolution in an urban area, is a major issue in front of the globe today and especially in Pakistan. So, there is the rising alertness of the fact that a clean and green environment is vital for good health and growth of all living organisms. It should be our topmost preference to keep our environment clean and green because cleanness is a part of our faith. Primary sources of environmental pollution are growing significantly (p<0.05) by anthropogenic (man-made) activities which are constantly adding different types of pollutants into all components of environment. Different types of factories discharged their toxic wastes into the environment which are contaminating the soil which acts as a basic medium for plant growth. So, this environmental degradation by different anthropogenic activities including industries is causing a great hazard to plants, animals as well as humans. All over the world there looks a big problem of environmental pollution due to which the world is in anxiety. However, the main cause of pollution is human himself. The person thus known as a human being doesn't show any humanity for the environment, as humans use and exploit all sorts of resources for his own profit no matter they may derive from nature or by using different species of the planet. A someone may go up to any level for his own edges the highest most ungenerous species on the planet and creates issues for himself and even for other living organisms. So, each problem has a solution, because problem is all the time manmade (anthropogenic), so man needs to discover the solution because nothing is unchangeable and pure in this universe except Allah. In recent advances, there is an urgent need to expand clean & green spaces around & within the polluted areas for the existence of healthy environmental situations. As some plant species are acting as pollution sink and can act as natural lungs of environment. It was concluded that if haphazard human population growth and constructions of new structures go on at present rate in Pakistan without understanding the significance of trees in the environment then there will be more destructive changes for all living organisms in future. These changes are harmfully affecting to all living organisms. So, a humble request to all humanity is that adopt the “green revolution which is the best solution to arrest the environmental pollution” for a sustainable environment to keep it clean and green.
